DEATH IN THE WATER.
People ?-HOw UniverstTi Menace to
Health May Be DisarmefEy

A few years ago the people in a certain
section in one of the leading cities OF the
state were FRUSTRATED with malignant
disease, and upon investigation it was
found that only those who used water from
a famous old well were the victims.
Professor s. A. baltimore, analyst OF the
New York State Board of Health, upon
analysing water from this we'll, found it
:: ore deadly than the city sewage!
The filling up OF the old well stopped the
ravages Of the disease.
Not long since the writer noticed while
some men were making an excavation for
q large building stratum OF dark colored
earth running from near the surface to
hard pan. There it took another course
toward a well near at land. The water
from this well had for years been tainted
with the DRAWINGS from a receiving vault,
the percolations of which had discolored
the earthl
Terrible!
similar condition OF things exists in
every village and city where we'll water is
used, and though the filtering which the
fluids receive in passing through the earth
may give them q clear appearance, yet the
poison and disease remains, though the
water may look ever so clear.
1t is still worse with the farmer, for the
drainage from the barn yard and the slops
into the family WE'LL
The same condition OF things exists in
our large cities, whose water supplies are
rivers fed by little streams that carry off
the filth and drainage from houses. This
water" is eventually drunk by rich and
poor alike with great evil
Some cautious people resort to the filter
for purifying the water; but even the filter
does not remove this poison, for water of
the most deadly character may pass
| through this filter and become clear, yet
the poison disguised is there
They who use filters know that they
| must be renewed at regular periods, for
even though they do not take out all the
| impurity, they sooE become foul.
Now in like manner the human kidneys
act as a filter for the blood, and if they
| are filled up with impurities and become
| foul, like the filter all the blood in the sys-
| tenn coursing through them becomes bad,
for it is now Il conceded fact that the kid,
neys are the chief means whereby the blood
| is purified. These organs are filed with
| thousands Of hair-Hke tubes which drain
the impurities from the blood, as the
sewer pipes drain impurities from our
| houses.
| II sewer pipe breaks under the house,
the sewage escapes into the earth and fills
the house with poisonous gas; SO if any Of
the thousand and one little hair.like sewer
| tubes OF the kidneys break down, the en-
tire body is affected by this awful poison.
1t is scientific fact that the kidneys
| have few nerves OF sensatsOn and, conse-
auently, disease may exist in these organs
for long time and not be suspected by
| the individual. 1t is impossible to filter or
| take the death out OF the blood when the
| least arrangement exists in these organs,
and if the blood is not filtered then the
uric acid or kidney poison, removable on.

the system and attacks any organ, pro-
ducing nine out of ten ailments, just as
sewer gas and drainage bad produce SO many
| fatal disorders.
| Kidney disease may be known to exist il
there is any marked departure from ordi-
nary health without apparent known
cause, and it should be understood by all
that the great test peril exists, and j. is in
tensifed, If there is, the least neglect to
treat it promptly with that great specific

ceived the highest recognition by scientific
men who have Thoroughly investigated The
character Of kidney arrangements.
They may not tell us that the cause o
so many diseases in this organ is the i'm
pure water or any other one thing, but
this poisonous water with its impurities
coursing constantly through these delicate
organs undoubtedly does produce much o
the decay and disease which EVENTUAL
terminate in the fatal Bright's disease, iol

1t is well known that tbs liver which il
30 easily Thrown out OF gear" as they sa y
very readily disturbs the action Of Oh
kidneys. That organ when deranged i'm
media teV announces the fact by saIio'
skin, Constructed bowels, coated toDgua
and heada hes, but the kidney when dis
eased, struggles on for long time, and tn
fact of its disease can only be discovere(
by aid of the microscope or by the ply 81
cian who is skillfal enough to trace tn
most indirect effects in the system to TIL
arrangement of these organs, as the prin
cause.
The public is learning much on this sub
lect and when it comes to understand tina
the kidneys are the real health regulators
as they are the real blood purifiers OF til
system, they will escapes an infinite amour
Of unnecessary suffering, and add length c
days and happiness to their lot.
